GROW THE BEST.
Why Fruit-Gr0wers Should Raise No In
feriOr Varieties of Fruits.

Why Fruit-Gr0wers Should Raise No In
feriOr Varieties of Fruits.
Will it pay to raise any thing but the
best? Does it pay to go on, year after
year, cultivating and using inferior
fruits when it is just as easy and much
more profitable to raise the best? The
best is good enough for any one, and
nothing but the best is good enough.
In saying the best we mean the hest
the climate, the soil and the circum-
stances surrounding one will enable
one to raise. The fruit that will be the
best for one may not be the best for an
other; there is, in other words, no abb
solute best-One that in all places and
all circumstances is the best-but there
is something better in all classes of
fruits than the varieties our fathers
raised. Especially is this true of ap-
pies, currants and berries. In some
States varieties were grown years
ago that, unless a boys love for ap-
pies has deceived us, have not been ex-
celled; but these are few in number and
limited in area. In the newer States
of the Mississippi valley new fruit
adapted to the conditions of climate
and soil had to be found. Many of the
standard sorts could not be grown with
success, and new varieties were intro
duced. 1t goes without saying that the
varieties have been improved wonder
fully in the years of trial. He who
clings to the old sorts is making seri-
Gus mistake. In currants there is such
an improvement that the old sorts and
the new ones are like entirely different
fruits. The improvement is not only
in size. but in bearing qualities and
flavor of the berry. Currants are SD
cheap that no one should cling 10 the
old sorts simply because he has them.
The new ones should be set. and. when
grown, take the place of the old ones
This is also true of most of the berries.
In the raspberries there is no compar-
isOn between the new and old sorts.
There is no reason why any one should
not have all the fruit he wants in the
gaeden, and in sufficient variety and
quantity to last the season through,
and that of the best varieties raised

The lesson of all this is plain. If it
will pay Saxony to manufacture her
own goods, even on machines import
ed from England. how much better
will it pay us to manufacture ours on
machines of our own production?
Some of the money of the English
Mr.. Jacoby is now paying Saxon
operatives for doing that which En-
gland operatives were formerly paid
for doing. Another part Of Mr.. Jacoby's
money has been spent in purchasing or
renting property for his new mills in
SaXony.
Leaving out the operation of the too
seductive universal equation" will
any sane free traders pretend to say
that Saxony is not enriched by her pro-
tective system to just the extent of
money directed from foreign Golfers
INTO her own? 1t is strange that men
who make such loud pretense of wide
views and aspire to such dizzy heights
IF political philosophy can not discern
,hat tariffs are just policies. How
good a policy a protective tariff for

humiliation from England or going to

beginning to doubt the wisdom of
continued policy of free trade. Fair
trade" or reciprocal trade" is better

"free trade is in America. The bal

INTRICATE KNOTS.
lew to Tie the Weavers' Knot. Bovine
~ and Other Curious Knots.

D0w to Tic the Weavers' Knot. BOWl1ns
! and Other Curious Knots.
1t Is not a very difficult task to tie a
neat and secure knot, but cOmpara-
lively few persons can do it. Nor is il
easy to show how il is done without the
help Of illustrations, but the following
directions are as explicit as mere words
can make them. The wcaver's knot is
the one employed in netting. and sail
ors call it the '.sheet bend" To make
it bend one piece Of cord into loop,
holding it between the finger and
thumb of the left hand; the other cord
is passed through the loop from the fur.
Their side, then round behind the two
legs of the loop, and lastly under itself.
In the smallness of its size and the firm
ness Of its hold this knot surpasses ev-
cry other; it can, moreover, be tied
readily when one Of the pieces is ex-
ceedingly short. less than an inch Of
common stout Irvine being sufficient to
form the loop. So firmly do the vari-
Gus turns hold each other that after be-
ing tightly pulled it is rsSy lard to ug-
tie; this is the only drawback to its
usefulness. In making reef knot it is
necessary to observe that the two parts
Of each string are on the same side of
the loop; if they are not the ends (and
the loops if any are fOrmed are at
right angles to the cords. This knot is
less secure than the weaver's knot, and
sailors call it a granny knot" 1t is
made precisely as a shoe-string is tied.
only the ends are generally pulled out
instead Of being left in bows. The bow
line knot is used in singing heavy bod
les; it can not slip, and will stand the
heaviest strain. Take the fixed or
standing part of the rope in the left
hand. lay the free end over it, and
then by \ twist of the wrist make a
loop in the standing part which shall
enclose the free end; then carry the
free end behind the standing part and
through the loop. parallel with itself.
This knot is the hardest one to learn.
but will well repay by its usefulness.
the trouble in learning it. Another
knot is what is called the binding knot,
and is exceedingly useful in connecting
broken sticks, rods and the like. To
make it, lay loop of the cord upon
the stick, across the break, then bind
the long end of the loop about the
stick many times. finally pass its end
through the upper part of the loop, and
tighten it by drawing down the short
end of the cord. Another knot is
known to sailors as ''the double half
hitch" or ''the Glove hitch" and is an
especially useful knot to fasten a cord
to any cylindrical object. Form two
loops, precisely similar in every re-
spect. then pass the second loop over
the object to be tied. and then the first
above it, now tighten by drawing the
ends. If this is properly done the knot
will not slip, though it may be tied
around perfectly smooth cylinder.
This knot is employed by surgeons in
reducing dislocations of the last joint
Of the thumb, and by sailors in a great
part of the standing rigging, and in
mooring boat by a cable to post or
similar object on the shore.-C Chicago

The material resources of Germany
befit great nation. Its area is POS. 427
square miles, which is one eighteenth
part of Europe, and one two-huadred-
fiftieth part Of the whole dry land Of
the globe. 1t is less than that Of Swe-
den and Norway together, or than that
of Texas, and a little more than that Of
France or of Spain.
The extent of the uncultivatable land
is inconsiderable. The arabic land, in
GLIDING garden ground and vineyards,
amounts to about one-haf of the area.
In general the soil is remarkably well
cultivated. In good seasons the pro-
ductiOn has been found sufficient to
meet the native demands. OF the &C.
reals the largest crop is rye; then oats.
wheat and barley. The potato is
largely cultivated. not merely for food.
but also for distillation into spirits
The common beet is largely grown in
some sections for the production of SUI
gar, the average product being GOO. OOO,.
600 pounds annually. The cultivation
of hops is in a flourishing condition in
Southern Germany. They form one Of
the standard articles of export. To-
bacco is raised in some districts. The

and in the Rhone valley.

more scientifically than in any other
country. In many of the States the
forests belong mostly to the Govern
ment; but even private owners are re-
stricted by law from destroying their
own trees. There are foresters trained
for the work from their early youth.
As soon as one tree is removed, an
other is substituted. The woodlands
occupy about one-fOurth of the entire
country.
In the rural districts. notably in the
Rhine valley, one observes multituGes
of little villages. often six or seven in
sight at once. The houses are grouped
closely together; and surrounding
the whole are grain fields, vegetable
gardens and vineyards, all cut up into
little patches. One man will own per-
haps dozen little patches of land, in
as many places, the different exposures
being adapted to the raising of various
crops. The women do great part
of the work in the fields. sometimes be-
ginning as early as three O'Clock in the
morning. They and the children often
go barefoot in the summer. while the
''lortls of creation wear shoes.
Of all European countries Germany
has the oldest manufactures. In the
last century it fell behind England and
Belgium; but is in fair way now to
recover it's former position.
Germany abounds in useful minerals,
and in consequence takes a high place
among industrial States. The produc.
ton falls short, indeed, Of that of Eng.
land. but bears comparison with that
of France and of the United States.
Germany produces more silver, copper

The CnlOvely Sight Presented by q Young
Woman Who Shirks Her Duties.
The town is full of talented girls who
will never amount to any thing because
they are so well content with simply
being talented. These girls will never
be able to take prominent place in
any profession or circle in society be-
cause they lack the industry without
which all the talent under the sun is
not worth copper groat. Talent is
the unhewn block Of marble, industry
is the chisel that may convert it to the
perfect statue. The philosophic writer
of ''Our Picayunes" says that industry
beats genius at every thing except the
making of real poetry. Talented girls
who are too lazy to accomplish any
thing except by inspiration are often
not only the victims Of their own false
idea that talent is better than Il devel-
oped muscle. or trained mind. or me-
thOdical work. but of the ill-advised
praise of relatives and friends. A
smart girl wants encouragement, not
merely praise. She wants that sort of
encouragement that if she wills to work
she can be and do any thing that is
great, and noble, and possible to
human endeavor. Many smart girl
remains SLOUGH and smatterer

IDEAS of her own ability. not capability.

have known better. A talented girl of
eighteen can play the piano; but not
we'll enough to keep the honest atten-
lion of roomfIl of people. She can
1abble in paints, but not well enough
20 make her pictures worth framing.
She can write romances, but none good
enough for publication. These are her
possibilities. They speak fairly well of
ler at eighteen, and friends predict a
brilliant future for her. But at nine
teen and twenty she neither plays. nor
paints, nor writes any better than she
did at eighteen. She has spent her
lays in idle, ambitious dreamings of
what she would like 70 do. Her mind
runs sluggishly. she is drunk with the
stupOr of laziness. She is an enormous
reader of novels, but finds even the
magazines ''tOO solemn" for her mind
and taste. Victimizcd by home adula-
lion. she has quit her piano-practicing,
neglected her studies. abandoned her
lrawing-book. and she ends by doing
nOthing at all. Her mother has loved
her too we'll to allow her to make a bed,
